A German Outrage on French Soil.
Profound Sensation I'm Parix-Seizure
and imprisonment Of n French
C0mmissary.

PARIS, April AIN. 2chnaebeles, a special
French eommissary at the Pagny- sur Moselle
Depot, has been arrested by Germans. He
had received several letters from the German
police commissioner at AIRS, asking him to
come to that place, and confer with him re-
garding the frontier service. He finally
agreed to do so, While on his way to AIRS he
was roughly seized by the German police, and
was taken to Noveant, from which place he
was sent to Metz. The Germans requested
Commissary Schnaebeles to set up one of the
posts which mark the frontier line. The Com
missary crossed the boundary, and advanced
a few yards on German soil, when he was
seized by German police agents, who were
disguised in gray blouses. He knocked the
agents down and escaped back to French ter
ritory; but he was again seiged, hapdpHfed,
and sent to Metz, wherH be was placed In the
prison in which accused persons are confined
before trial. The warrant for the arrest ema-
mated from the public prosecutor at Metz,
who acted under instructions from Strasburg.
The French procurator at Nancy has gone to
Pagny to inquire into the affair.
Most of the Paris evening papers make no
comment on the incident. The Liberte says
it is expedient TO refrain from comment until
Germany shall have explained the occurrence.
The arrest of NJ. Schnaebeles has produced
profound sensation, and it is feared may
lead to unfortunate results,
LIE Paris calls it 'another prnvocation, :"
and asks if Bismarck is seeking oasus heli.
The Metzer zeitung saysi NJ. Sohnaeheles
arrest is due to his connection with the anti
German agitation conducted by the Patriotic
League; but the people of Pagny- sur Moselle
declare this to be entirely untrue, and say that
he had nothing to do with the agitation. The

Death Of DE-. James h. Curry.

DR.. James Fl. Curry, q native of Union
town, this county, and one Of the best known
physicians in South Baltimore, died at his
residence, No. 400 South Paca street, on
Wednesday morning at six O'Clock, in the
fifty-fifth year of his age. He had been i'll for
about six weeks, death being the result of
general debility. After course at Calvert
College, New Windsor, he went to Baltimore,
where he subsequently studied medicine, grad
uating with hign honors in 1859. He entered
upon the practice of medicine, and at the out
break of the civil war, entered the service OF
the government as the assistant surgeon of the
Third Regiment Maryland Volunteers. In
1862 he resigned his eoHEjssion, and served
for several months in the United States army
hospitals as assistant surgeon, and ia 1868
entered the United States volunteer corps Of
surgeons as an assistant. He was promoted
to the position of surgeon, with the rank OF
major, and in 1865 was breveted lieutenant
colonel for faithful and meritorious services.
After the war he returned to Baltimore,
where he resumed the practice of medicine
with splendid success. DR.. Curry was active
in the organization of the Baltimore Medical
Society He was president of the association,
and several times was elected delegate to the
American Medical Association. He was a
member of the Ben Howard Association, the
ROYAL Arcanum, was recording steward of the
Columbia Avenue ". +. Church, and prom
linen, member of the Y. NJ. G.. a. He leaves

LINEBoRo ITEMS.
Six New dwellings, Shipments Of Cattle Elec-
tion of OFF Candidate for GoYernor.

Notwithstanding the cry OF hard times,
Lineboro is slowly increasing in size and pop
4lation and in importance. There has al
ready been an addition of three dwelling
houses put up this spring, which are now
under roof and which viii sloH he ready for
occupancy, namely-the dwellings of 4. D..
Wentz, |. NJ. Bowser and J. NJ. Wentz, and
there are three more lots laid off, on which
the parties will build this summer, which will
make six additional dwelling houses to the
place for one year, which we think is fully
keeping pace with its sister villages on the
Baltimore and Harrisburg Railway. Line
boro can also boast of hotel, which was
opened absat tie list Of April by Geo. Shewell,
from Pennsylvania, who seems IN be an ex-
cellent man. There is grand opening FOR q
physician and a tailor IN the place.
Lineboro is the emporium for shipping
cattle on the Baltimore and Harrisburg r. R.,
but so far very few have been shipped this
spring. We learn that few stables are sold,
to be moved in May, at S. per hundredweight
gross.

The wheat fields in this section do not now
promise more than half crop. They look
less promising now than they did in February
last, and have not looked SO unpromising in
general Of this time of the year for ten years
as they do now,
There is not much excitement get among
our people over the gubernatorial election,
which will take place in our state next fall,
but our people are beginning to feel some
concern about the men who are likely to be
put in front for the position. 1t seems to us
to be misfortune that we have now two
PREPAYMENT sons of Carroll, who are brought
to the front by their admirers for the high po-
sition of governor. While frank RrQwH is
public spirited, energetic, and one of the pop
nar and enterprising men of Carroll county,
and while we are proud of him and think he
is q credit to our county, we should ask our
selves the question, is he the best we have, all
things considered, for the position? We think
not. We think we have another son Of Car.
roll who will fill the bill better; whose educa-
ton, business experience, public life and in.
tegrity eminently qualify him for the high and
responsible Office of governor of the state of
Maryland. who we know has the confidence
of all the people, and if nominated would prove
satisfactory to all. He is no other than Hon.
Chas B. Roberts.

We baye with delight received the Semi

have received it, and all who can secure a
copy of it, to carefully preserve il as histor-

The farmers of this community are very
busy in preparing the soil for Spring crops.
If Collector Groome has prepared correct
gBbernatorial bill to be filled, as appeared in
the last isspe of the ADVOCATE, Hampstead
district cannot I'll it, as it would require a
man learned in the Law rs the principal re-
quisite with other attendant qualifications.
Now we certainly agree with the ADVOCATE
that we would not have far TO go to fill the
bill, and not only to fill the bill but to find the
honored gentleman who in 1888 show ed him
self to be the most popular son of Maryland,
that is to say second to none in the State.
Our citizens are generally very well salts
fed with the decision Of the gentlemen who
were selected to award the prize to the dis

awined and the pay roll made thereon was

was ordered also various bills for supplies
and incidental expenses: A. proposition to

on the table. Final aettlement of the accounts
for the new school house at Gambler wac an
thorized. 1t being represented to the board
that the school house ut Union Mills, known
as Carroll Academy, had been used from time
to time for religious meetings, and had been
built with an understanding that such use of

Thinkers or German Baptists of the neighbor-
hood, for permission to have religious services
therein occasionally, was granted.
An arrangement having been perfected with
the county commissioners, looking to the cree
ton of number of necessary ney school
houses during the summer, 1t was determined
that there should be two terms of school at
the county's expense next year, the time for

Some Reported improvements by the Western
Maryland Railroad.

The Western Maryland Railroad Company
is making some improvements in this city,
which will not only greatly improve the ap-
pearance of the city where the railroad crosses,
but will insure greater safety and give the
railroad more room.
On Wednesday President ], n. Hood and
Messrs. Samuel H. Taggart, Joshua Beggs, G.
W. Humrichouse, John K. Longwell and
Granville S. Haines viewed the premises, ac-
companied by Mr.. E. o. Grimes, station agent

1t is also said the Railroad Company is me-
gotiating to buy the old First National Bank

preparing to have a double track, and will
require more room where the present depot

EXECUTIVE PAsTIMEs.
How the Presidents Amuse Themselves
During Leisure Hours.

From the Cleveland Leader.
President Cleveland is the only presi-
dent in our history who seems to have no
amusement whatever. George Washing.
ton was noted for his muscular deyelop-
ment. He was fond of jumping, and to
the last day of his life kept a pack Of
hounds for hunting. He could dance upon
occasion, and he was CAREFUL enough of his
health to 60 to bed every night at ten
o'clock. Jefferson was a great horseback
rider, and he rode throughout the country
about Washington daily during his presi-
dency. He usually spent two hours in the
saddle, and he was fond of mixing with his
fellows. At his home at Monticello he
paid great attention to farming, and he
walked about the streets of Washington
while in the White House.
When Cleveland was iRaugurated the
press was full Of wonder at his getting up
for breakfast at eight o'clock in the morn
ing, and the whole nation patted him on
the back for it, as it were. Still, WASH
ington got up at daybreak, and Jefferson
crawled out as the light struck his chamber.
John Adams, who was as fat proportionate-
ly as Cleveland is, used to take walk
from the White House around the Capital
before his breakfast, which, by the way, he
took as early as Cleveland, and his son,
John Quincy Adams, was wont to go down
to the Potomac and take a swim before his
morning meal,
Both Of the Adamses were great walk
ers, and while John Quincy Adams was
president he used 10 walk out to the race
course, two miles from here, and back
again whenever any great sport was on
hand. Andrew jackson was hard work
er, but he was democratic fellow, and he
liked horse racing, cock fighting, aud q
good social smoke. He often attended the
cock fights on the Washington Heights,
above Sixteenth street, and at one of the
great races of the days of his presidency he
had a horse of his own admitted in the
name of his private secretary, Major Don
eIson. President Harrison was great
walker, and he did much of his own
during his short stay In the
White HOUSE. He would get up and go
to market before breakfast, and, though he
was an old man, he often went about with
out an overcoat.
Frank Pierce was another great horse
back rider, and he was accustomed to gal
lop through the streets of Washington at
midnight on fine blooded steed. Buch-
anan was a great beau socially, and he did

Examination of PUBLIC school reachers.

An Unexpectedly large number of persons
were in attendance at the public school
teachers examination at Central Hall School
house in this city during the week. The Ex-
aminer expected about As and was surprised
to find So awaiting his coming on Wednesday
morning. Three Of the number were appli-
cants for seats at the State Normal School
Of the rest 81 were applicants for first grade
and fifteen for second grade certificates.
Questions on English Literature were given
for the first time, and although repeated notice
had been given that they might be expected,
but few of those in attendance were prepared
for them. 1t is thought that the papers on
this subject will not be marked this time, but
the questions were given as notification of
what may be expected in the future, as all
other means of securing attention to the sub
ject have failed.
